i was thinking when i was a kid george henry iris etc

[narkymum]

would have been laughed out but have made a trendy come back recently so being super cool i have a list to " get in first" and name my dc the cool vintage name of future
ok boys

• Eric
• Norman
• Roger
• Grahem Girls Vanessa Janet Jean Verronica*Vera

Diz if you had added Bruce with two of your last boys suggestions, you would have my brothers, aged 46 46 and 52

Linda and Roger!? Wow, that really is middle-aged chic with go faster stripes.

I like Belinda, Valerie, Sylvia, Kathleen, Margaret, Victor, Vincent, Frankie, Peter, Gordon, Philip, Richard, Paul, Geoff.

These will be cropping up in chic urban creches before too.

Bruce, yes totally. Put that on the list.

Brothers Victor, Bruce and Frankie. That is so sharp it hurts to type it. Love it.

Valerie gosh yes, also Vincent

Doreen must be said with the emphasis on reeen it is a beautiful name and one I hope comes back. What about Michelle, Ruth, Lisa, KerryAnn, Melissa

pmsl - bruce!!!!!

Ronald?

I love love LOVE Sylvia but dh won't even consider it for this dc if a girl - apparently she was their school bike

I love Ranald, Donald (and still Bruce, Frankie and Victor). I haven't seen Nemo.

OK, I;m going to stand in Sainsbury's tomorrow and call out "Bruce, Frankie, Ranald, Victor, Donald, come here ALL of you right now!"

I'll be in trouble for saying this, but you wouldn't hear those names in Asda

OK throw things at me. I'll duck.

what is this 'asda' you speak of greenElizabeth is it where the staff go to do their shopping?!?

Nemo is a common person(a la moi!) entertainment in the form of moving pictures on a screen about a little fish and a big shark called bruce

for GreenElizabeth

meet bruce!!!

what about Edwin

Wow. He's fierce. But I like him just as much and maybe more than Barney the dinosaur, Rory the racing car or Finley the fire engine!!

Every name is a character it seems.

Eunice and Keith

pmsl @ Keith!!!

does Kevin qualify too?

gladys?
glynnis
phyllis?

Keith. OOOh. They love Keith and Gavin in America though.

Eunice, Gladys, Glynnis not my cup of tea, but if Carys is out there, I don't see why Gladys couldn't come back. Glynnis is ok actually.

Phyllis is too dodgy. I need anti-biotics. I won't be in on Monday because I've got Phyllis

My dad is called Desmond. I think that must be the most resistant-to-a-comeback name there is. I really cannot imagine a 4 year old called that

I do know a child called Bertram poor wee thing!
pmsl @ Phyllis (re anti-biotics, I'm sure all Phyllises are lovely ladies)

My dad suggested Dawn for a girl!

GreenElizabeth - if we were in sainsbo's with you my DS1 would come running DS2 has a very unfashionable name too

DS1 - 70 year old Scottish farmer
DS2 - 50 year old accountant

Schneebly, I'm not taking the michael here! These are the names I like. I think they are cool because they are not following fashion they're ahead of it!

yes that what I was thinking In all reality DH named them after we made a stupid agreement that he could name any boys we might have and I would name any girls we have.

So far 2 boys lol!

pinkorblue - My DH seriously sugested Dawn for DD!

Gavin

7 or so years ago I met someone with a newborn called Tony.

At the time it seemed so surreal that the room spun about me for a moment. However, weirdly, now it doesn't seem so very odd. So - for instance - I can absolutely imagine, and even like the idea of, an Edwin.

Wendy, on the other hand ...

I think Susan is very pretty and will be revived very soon. Suzy is gorgeous. What's wrong with Jane and Melissa? Or indeed Alison, Gemma, Georgina or most of the others.
I don't much care for Lee or Darryl because they are modern (I like traditional names with hisory). Think the others are totally acceptable. I know little Jamies and Rorys, and think Peter, christopher etc are great.
